Though landscape paintings are my speciality, sometimes its fun to find (or create) an intimate scene, a slice of nature so to speak, and create an outdoor still life of sorts. Here we have the warmth and glow of the autumn sun kissing the glorious orange of a beautifully shaped pumpkin, wreathed by New England asters and cone flowers that have bent to the ground after the rain. I am particularly fond of this painting because it seems to capture so much of what I love about the season. The colors, the flowers, the sense of abundance, and a bit of the mystery and surprise I always encounter when closely observing nature.

About Me

There are so many things I'm passionate about, but they all find there way into my art. Nature, animals, the land, the cycle of the seasons, simple things, gardens, snow at midnight, peepers in spring, butterflies in August, autumn leaves and the love of the Creator.
